What is recorded here

Site is almost completely obscured by vegetation. An earlier report (OPW 1969) described it as a raised circular area (int. diam. c. 28m) enclosed by an earthen bank and a fosse which is clearly defined from N-S-WSW and poorly preserved elsewhere. Bank also poorly preserved from WSW-W-N. Break in bank at ENE probably represents original entrance. Indications of a possible souterrain in the internal area (CV022-031002) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
